.270 WSM or .300 WSM - Sako or Steyr
 
I am about to purchase a rifle and after several days of reading reviews and documentation, I decided to go for one of the WSM.

I will use the rifle forhunting mule deer 99% of the time and once per year for blackbear, moose and elk.

I need your advice to help me choose the best caliber (.270 WSM or .300 WSM) and the best rifle (Sako 75 Stainless or Steyr Pro Hunter Blue Barrel).

Thanks.

"....once per year for blackbear, mouse and elk..."
I don't know what rifles chambered for what cartridges thatyou already have....
All other factors equal, I would go with the 300 WSM hands down.

That said, I'm thinking a 22LR would be a much betterchoice for the mouse hunting.

LOL:D I have a .300 wsm and I love the accuracy of the round and I would rather have the bigger round; especially for elk and mouse;)

I would say the 300 WSM would be a better choice because of the moose and elk hunting thrown into the picture. I have no experience in the Steyr but I sure like my Sako 75 chambered for the 270 WSM. I basically use my 270 WSM for deer but wouldn’t hesitate using it for bear...
